Duke back on top in final AP Top 25 poll:
The Blue Devils jumped from fifth to first Monday after winning last week's league tournament with the return of freshman star Zion Williamson from a knee sprain that had sidelined him nearly six full games. That made Duke the No. 1 overall seed for the NCAA Tournament when the field of 68 teams was unveiled Sunday night.
Gonzaga, the fourth NCAA 1-seed, fell from No. 1 in last week's AP Top 25 to fourth after losing to Saint Mary's in the West Coast Conference Tournament championship game for its first loss since December. Auburn made a big jump after winning the Southeastern Conference Tournament, vaulting eight spots to No. 14 after being unranked to start the month of March.
